No one is arguing against this in particular. Conservatives believe women are human. They're also not all white males. I really hope I do not have to cite sources on this.
>I mean, sure, I laugh at those who have this 'white rage' for complaining that we, as white men, are now expected to treat other people with a base level of respect (as that, at root, is the intent of political correctness.) At least where I live, this expectation is phrased more like "Please consider that women are humans too, you know, if it's not too much trouble"
In other words, my experience of 'political correctness' is being paid, every now and again, to watch amateurish videos that boil down to the message "Please consider that women are humans too, you know, if it's not too much trouble"
You can see how this would color my opinion of the people who complain that "political correctness has gone overboard"
It's possible that there are times and places where political correctness really is oppressive; Considering my life experience, though, I find that to be pretty unlikely, but who knows.
Brendan Eich knows.
I think the issue there is how the internet has taken mob justice to the next level, not political correctness; it's a phenomena of both sides of the political spectrum.
It's kind of a scary problem, because we've all done something that offends someone, and what makes the difference between something offensive you've done that nobody cares about and something offensive you've done that makes you the five-minute hate for half the world looks a lot like random chance to me. This sort of thing could happen, really, to any of us at any time.
You just can't make such a sweeping claim without at least giving examples.
Asking for citations has, from what I've seen in the past, ended with people giving citations of what they think constitute a bias that the other side doesn't consider a bias.
